Abstract

The invention relates to a high pressure fuel accumulator for an accumulator injection system in internal injection engines, comprising a base body which is provided with a longitudinal recess which has a plurality of connecting bores emanating therefrom. The inner chamber of the longitudinal recess is essentially cylindrical in shape and has at least one rib shaped section on the inner perimeter of the longitudinal recess into which a connecting bore formed in the longitudinal recess leads.

Claims (11)

1. A high-pressure fuel reservoir for a reservoir injection system of an internal combustion engine, said reservoir having a base, said base having a longitudinal recess with an essentially cylindrically shaped inner surface, said recess having a plurality of connection bores branching therefrom wherein the inner circumference of the recess has a plurality of rib-shaped sections thereon.

2. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein the rib-shaped section extends over the entire length of the base.

3. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein two rib-shaped sections are formed on the inner circumference of the base and are disposed opposite to each other.

4. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein three rib-shaped sections are formed on the inner circumference of the base and are each disposed offset at 120° with respect to one another.

5. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein an acute angle (α) is formed at the transition between a connection bore and the rib-shaped section.

6. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the rib-shaped section is rounded.

7. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 6 , wherein the end of the rib-shaped section is of semicircular shape in cross-section.

8. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein the high-pressure fuel reservoir is manufactured from a drawn tube.

9. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein the rib-shaped section projects inward a distance (D) of more than 2 mm compared to the cylindrically shaped inner surface of the longitudinal recess.

10. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rib-shaped sections are disposed at the same angular distance with respect to one another on the inner surface of the longitudinal recess.

11. A high-pressure fuel reservoir according to claim 1 , wherein at least two connection bores have an angular distance (WA in degrees °) which is a multiple of (k) of 360° divided by the number (n) of rib-shaped sections.
